It was cranking up here in the Gong yesterday arvo, had a good session on a 4.7 after work. That said, even though the NE swell gets in nicely at East Corrimal there wasn't really much in the way of swell.

The thing to watch out for in Wollongong today is if it does it's old swing to the Nth and turn off trick, which by looking at the MSLP charts may happen. I'd expect it to be 25kts by 1130ish and build into the arvo with a potential 'shut off and go north' in the early to mid arvo, followed by a swing back to NE later on in the day. That said i've been wrong many times before.

ian, some of these guys are 72kg in a steamer full of water. 4.7 for me at a 'normal' weight of <85kg would have to be a solid 25knots and even then you can use a 5.4 at a place like Gerroa.

Oh I've calibrated CJW, I'd thought he'd at least be on his 5.4 yesterday. I'm working on a better calibration of Bulli vs. Corrimal.

Had around 20knts from 11 till 3 south of PT Perpendicular today till the rain killed it. Yesterday at Warilla I was amazed how quickly the wind strength built from 4pm, no clouds yesterday.It really showed today how the cloud cover and rain can destroy the seabreeze . Tomorrow , who knows whats in store with that weird Low sitting over Tassie.
